Sorry for being a dipshit in advance but a friend and I were trying to figure out where to classify this band. Although I've heard their music and think it's great, it's a little before my time so don't know when it came out which of its contemporaries it was compared to. Tia

Grunge, although I guess you could say grunge is a subcategory of alt rock.

Grunge isn't really a type of music because it was just what people called bands from Seattle in the early 90's. Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam all were very different bands that got labeled Grunge by the mainstream. Pearl Jam is classic rock that would fit very well in the 70's.

Does it really matter?

Interesting, I've gone with the general party line that classified them as grunge. Their music predominantly derives its influence from classic rock and it projected that vibe. I'd opt for hard alt rock.

Their sound is just straight up classic rock. Listen to the solo in "Alive" and tell me that's grunge. Don't take it from me, take it from Mike McCready, re Evenflow:

Lyrically, though, Vedder was definitely feeding off that early 90s grungey woe-is-me vibe.

That's me pretending to be Stevie Ray Vaughan, and a feeble attempt at that. Stone (Gossard, Pearl Jam guitarist) wrote the riff and song; I think it's a D tuning. I just followed him in a regular pattern. I tried to steal everything I know from Stevie Ray Vaughan and put it into that song. A blatant rip-off. A tribute rip-off, if you will!
